| Into Daylight (2009) SJ.Ramir |
Synopsis:
In much of his video art, SJ.Ramir utilises geographical landscapes –
and the movement of people through them, as a metaphor, to explore the
notion of metaphysical journeys that we make across landscapes within in
the mind. In a slight deviation from his usual style, Into Daylight is a
widescreen ‘cinematic response’, to this theme. In it, Ramir has
employed classic filmic devices - such as composed vignettes and slow
camera pans - in combination with a lulling cinematic soundtrack, until a
change in atmosphere occurs, and a lone figure, in silhouette, is
revealed to be travelling through a remote and desolate terrain. The
destination is not known. The focus is simply on the figures journey.
